Abstract: The prevalence of trauma, both as a concept and in the form of trauma studies and trauma theory, across the global intellectual and academic spectrum is now fully acknowledged. Yet this apparent internationalized condition does not guarantee that the various branches, avenues, institutional instances, and sites of trauma study will, or can, give full justice to the historical and current traumas that come under the view of trauma studies and trauma study scholars. The intellectual determination, courage, conceptual adaptation, and commitments that would allow the fully advanced study of trauma across the various international contexts and historical situations to come fully into proper and clear view is still ...

Abstract: Trauma and adversity are now recognized to be at the forefront of the human experience, and thus the attempt to purge traumatic pain is the catalyst that marks the human condition. Aristotle famously spoke in Poetics of the cathartic power of storytelling through the formal medium of fiction, wherein the plot organizes thoughts and feelings into coherent past experiences. Arguably, the act of emplotment and synthesizing can allow a revisiting of blocked emotions and to approach suffering otherwise impossible to process in the moment of it taking place. Aside from providing a cathartic release, verbalizing trauma is said to lead to symbolic healing, both individually and in reconstituting communities; many confirm ...

Abstract: Perú ha mantenido una larga e intensa historia de violencia a lo largo de sus años de vida republicana, sin contar los años de violencia colonial experimentados a partir del encuentro traumático y expansivo con la Europa conquistadora e imperial. Los efectos de este trauma pueden encontrarse todavía en la inestabilidad política, la inequidad social y económica y los rezagos de un racismo institucional y sistemático que ha afectado de manera trascendental las vidas y los destinos de incontables peruanos a través de los años, peruanos que en su mayoría pertenecen a identidades y herencias culturales que históricamente han sido desplazadas y despreciadas, nunca vistos como peruanos de pleno derecho por sus ...

Abstract: A principios de la década de 1970, Asunta Quispe Huamán y Gregorio Condori Mamami, una pareja de campesinos indígenas que habían migrado del campo a la ciudad del Cusco, relataron las historias de sus vidas a los antropólogos peruanos Ricardo Valderrama y Carmen Escalante. Asunta y Gregorio vivían en Coripata, una barriada en la periferia de dicha ciudad. El campesino nació en Layo (Perú) el 6 de Julio de 1908 y tenía 67 años cuando los antropólogos lo entrevistaron. A partir de su propio relato, sabemos que en 1933 hizo el servicio militar obligatorio y trabajó como barrendero en una fábrica de tejidos entre 1943 y 1967. En estos años conoció a Asunta y se casó con ella. En contraste con la información vital de ... Read More PubDate: 2024-07-16T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Black communities, groups, and individuals in the Americas and beyond have faced and continue to face traumas that impact deeply on their existence. From the initial evils of slavery to Apartheid, to Jim Crow, to algorithmic racism, these traumatic experiences have been affecting not only individuals but entire communities at local, national, and transnational levels. Trauma Studies have been criticized by the tendency to separate individual and collective trauma, as well as by the centrality of Western perspectives in analyzing and representing it.1 In this article, however, I discuss the way in which Black communities in Latin America use diverse expressive communicative forms to address racial and related ...

Abstract: In 1628 a Spanish Catholic priest, future American explorer, historian, and mineralogist by the name of Fernando (Felix) de Montesinos arrived at a perplexing and transitioning New World depleted of precious metal exports.1 Visions and anticipations of an affluent Peru that were once celebrated during the sixteenth century quickly evaporated from Montesinos's mind, as he was confronted with the similar financial troubles that had repeatedly wounded and ruined Spain's formerly robust economy. Spain had just been hit with the second of the three bankruptcies of 1627, and just four years after Montesinos's return to the Iberian Peninsula, Spain was faced with the third in 1647. Previous historical accounts of a ... Read More PubDate: 2024-07-16T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: "Rarísima vez llega a la vejez; pues muere, ó por accidente del trabajo, ó por el agotamiento gradual producido por el mismo"In his quaintly antiquated survey Inside Latin America (1941), the US journalist John Gunther minced no words in describing Bolivia not as a country, but as a problem.2 Such mid-century candor had already been conveyed in the chapter title: "Tin and Tintypes in Bolivia." The reduction of a nation to its primary commodity neatly complements the other confident subheadings of Gunther's book, such as "Beef, Fifth Column, and Bases" (Argentina) or the lumping together of Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras as "The Banana Republics."Present-day sensitivities demand more circumspection when ...

Abstract: The Mexican states of Chihuahua, Durango, Sinaloa, and Sonora comprise the Golden Quadrangle that has dominated the Mexican drug trade since the 1960s. Beginning at the dawn of the twenty-first century, Sinaloa became the center of Mexico's modern drug trade. The state has hosted large-scale agricultural and fishing industries for centuries. It also has a natural deep harbor port in Mazatlán, which has been Mexico's connection to Asia for hundreds of years.1 Thus, Sinaloans have long had access to products from Asia, whether licit or illicit. Along with the deep port and access to Asia, large farms dot the contemporary landscape on both sides of the Sierra Madre mountain range that create natural boundaries between ...

Abstract: "Con este libro ya hurgué suficiente en la herida."1"Han pasado casi veinte años desde que lo mataron, y durante estos veinte años, cada mes, cada semana, yo he sentido que tenía el deber ineludible, no digo de vengar su muerte, pero sí, al menos, de contarla."2Grief is often deeply personal. The senseless murder of a parent or a sibling decimates families, truncates childhoods, and teaches, among other things, that the only permanent thing in life is its fleetingness. In such circumstances, chaos and violence no longer wreak havoc elsewhere; they instead arrive to inhabit one's home. The heartbreaking effects of losing a loved one to murder are the subject of various Colombian novels of the new millennium. These ... Read More PubDate: 2024-07-16T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Latinoamérica cuenta con un triste historial de violencias y traumas históricos que han afectado y afectan aún hoy a sus diversas naciones. Guerras armadas entre el Estado y grupos rebeldes, dictaduras sanguinarias, o los efectos brutales del crimen organizado, son solo algunos de los fenómenos que han marcado las conciencias individuales y colectivas del continente. El presente análisis pretende revisar la actualización de los traumas históricos en narrativas latinoamericanas actuales vinculadas al narcotráfico. A partir de dos perspectivas sobre el trauma literario, se intentará mostrar la contribución de leer estos relatos como exceso distorsionado, más allá de la mirada más tradicional del efecto silenciador ...

Abstract: On October 25, 2016, BBC Mundo, the Spanish version of the British broadcaster's website, published an article by Daniel Pardo, its Colombian correspondent based in Buenos Aires, titled "Cómo mi pragmatismo emocional de colombiano chocó con Argentina, donde 'todo el mun-do tiene que ir a terapia'" (How my Colombian emotional pragmatism clashed with Argentina, where "everyone must go to therapy").1 In the article, Pardo dwells on what are, in his view, the dissimilar responses to psychological treatment in both countries: according to Pardo, while psychology forms part of mainstream Argentine culture, making therapy a staple of an ever-diminishing neurotic middle class, in Colombia, psychological treatment is ...
